jQuery File Upload is a File Upload widget with multiple file selection, drag&drop support, progress bars and preview images for jQuery. It supports cross-domain, chunked and resumable file uploads and client-side image resizing. It also works with any server-side platform (PHP, Python, Ruby on Rails, Java, Node.js, Go etc.) that supports standard HTML form file uploads.
The jQuery UI widget factory is a requirement for the basic File Upload plugin, but very lightweight without any other dependencies. The User Interface is built with Twitter’s Bootstrap Toolkit. This enables a CSS based, responsive layout and fancy transition effects on modern browsers. The demo also includes the Bootstrap Image Gallery Plugin. Both of these components are optional and not required.
Requirements: jQuery Framework

Kartograph is a new framework for building interactive map applications without Google Maps or any other mapping service. It was created with the needs of designers and data journalists in mind.

You can chose among hundreds of ready-to-use maps or simply generate your own using kartograph.py, the open source Python SVG map generator.
Requirements: jQuery and RaphaelJS Framework

Everyone knows that credit cards were actually quite well-suited to the web, and so the credit card form was born. There are several sites who have done away with the credit card type field. Both Amazon and GitHub don’t require you to select a credit card type in their form. As you fill in the credit card number, the user interface changes to show the type of credit card being used.
Auto-detecting Credit Card Type is a nice addition to the standard payment form because it frees up the user from entering what is actually redundant information. It’s trivial to determine the type of credit card being used once you understand how credit card numbers work.
